Garlicky Feta Dip

Garlicky Feta Dip. This simple, creamy dip is tangy, garlicky, and always a crowd-pleaser. James now calls this “Trust Your Gut Dip”, which is probably a catchier name for it, truth be told.

Mezze Party Platter

I almost flipped the whole damn table over on Friday night. James suggested that we do a date-night dinner this past weekend at our favorite little Turkish hole-in-the-wall and I was all about it. Partially because I am absolutely obsessed with the food there– the creamy hummus, the crispy falafel, the warm pita bread, the butter-soft grilled meats, the…
